I wish our former Chair, former Deputy Kathleen Funchion, now an MEP, the very best of luck and the best of health in Brussels. The Minister of State is welcome. It is always good to have a Minister in front of us. The assessment of needs, as she knows, has been a topic of conversation in both this committee and indeed the Joint Committee on Disability Matters. We have had many conversations over the past couple of years. I have a few questions, which I will go through one by one if that is okay with the Minister of State and Leas-Chathaoirleach. How has the HSE been navigating the roll-out of assistant therapists to the CDNTs? I think they could play an important role on CDNTs but they do not seem to be materialising yet.
